I haven't been on in a while because I started a new job this week. At my old job, I was so bored and it was so lame that I was on here every 20 mins or so. This job... I'm lucky if I am at my desk ever. I love the new job, but I'm trying so hard to hit the ground running and catch on but I'm just out of the loop right now with their products and procedures. It will be ok though once I catch on.
So FMIL has come up with even more tacky, embarrassing shower ideas. I have practiced telling myself that i am a grateful bride and that her ideas do not reflect poorly on me. She wanted to throw a shower to be the hero of the day, but now she is seeing just how expensive it can be. So we are having hot dogs and hamburgers (she asked what i would like to eat, kept saying it was my day, and when I gave her a totally reasonable option, she backed out and decided on this instead). She bought a bunch of nick nacks from garage sales that have NOTHING to do with my wedding, and is putting them randomly around the place as "decorations." She realized that she wants to play games (I don't but she's throwing it so whatever) and now doesn't want to buy prizes... so she is giving away the crap she bought as prizes. The favors are christmas cookie cutters and poutpourri.... she also got these from a garage sale and Fi informed me the poutpourri looks like its 15 years old, dried out and doesn't smell anymore. *sigh* I just hope the family knows this was all her doing and not mine.
I need to get my ass in gear. I have so much left to do and anytime I'm not at work, something else comes up. We cut the wood needed for my centerpieces, but the chain on the chainsaw is now dull and so the wood can't be cut to the size I need it at. So that's on hold. I need to speak to vendors ASAP but free time usually goes into catching up on my life since I wasn't able to do that when i was working 60 hours. One of my BMs tore her ACL and has lots of other chaos in her life lately. I have been on the phone with her and met up with her when she came into town, and it has all been about her and what's going on... yet she cannot seem to tell me when the hell the BM dresses are coming in. I was on the phone with her for almost an hour while she had a meltdown, so I'm not making this all about me.... but could you take a minute and keep me posted???
I will be on as much as possible girls! Missed you all this week! Thanks for letting me rant!
